The world of Futurism: Shadow Guard

I have long worked on making a world based around the struggle for the future of humanity. The basic idea is that in a strange future where odd abilities have manifested. Futurism is the study of the future, its never accurate, so it seemed like a good name for a comic or story series. I can come up with an alternate future, one that will never happen. In this, terrorism and genocide are the tools of those who either wish to stop biological mutations and stay on a technological path, and those who wish to create a new order with these mutations.

There is another faction, however, one that has no time for the evils of foolish perfectionism. The Shadow Guard exists to keep the idea of personal freedom alive, no matter what the future of humanity holds. They are called the Shadow Guard because they never seek glory or power. Be that as it may, they understand the need for propaganda. Any atrocity committed by either of their enemies, and the punishment given by them, is broadcast over the net. They are honest about what they do, and do not hide the blood involved.

The fully militarized armored NBC suits and covered faces give them a menacing appearance, and makes it hard to tell if they have any nasty extra talents. Talents are what others might refer to as "superpowers" or "weirdness". Nothing like a SWAT guy with telekinesis to give you a very bad day. The array of weapons they have access too range from the simple combat knife to Personal Infantry Cannons.

The Shadow Guards money comes from several governments and corporations who need help with more exotic enemies. The Guard are sometimes villified by activists, but the service they provide is too valuable to pass up. A new problem is that their enemies have begun getting support from countries who are less interested in keeping the peace.
